My New Writer’s Notebook is Empty

My new writer’s notebook (purchased on March 19) is back on my coffee table. I try to always keep it in eyesight to remind me jot down ideas on potential new stories. It was still empty. 

Although I’ve started to type something new a while ago (April 6), it all just came to a complete halt.

Yes, this 2020 pandemic quarantine has given me a lot of free time, and I’d love to put it towards a new story. But, being thrown off with life has made me scatterbrained. And of course it’s frustrating, because I finally have time but I cannot get my mind to focus.

However, I’ve come to realize that my struggle for inspiration is another result of this quarantine. Because I am not traveling, and not around people and life, I cannot get that spark.

Today, I finally wrote some notes on page one of me green writer’s notebook. It felt good. I hope this means I’m getting myself back on track. We shall see.
